F-105G Thunderchief Wild Weasel

F-105G Thunderchief Wild Weasel

This is the Wild Weasel variant of the F-105.  It came about because the F-100 was too slow in performing the suppression of AAA fire and enemy radar.  The F-105F, a two seat varient, was converted.  There were only 53 conversions done.

The Wild Weasels flew in advance of the bomb laden F-105's to clear a path through the AAA fire and radars.
